Notes
How to make paletas without a mold
1. Find a substitute for a mold: Use small paper or plastic cups, ice cube trays, or silicone muffin pans instead of traditional molds. 2. Pour the paleta mixture into the substitute mold: Fill it partially to allow it to expand as it freezes. 3. Insert the sticks: If the mixture isn't thick enough to hold the stick upright, cover the container with aluminum foil and poke the stick through it. The foil will hold the stick in place while the paleta freezes. 4. Freeze: Place the molds in the freezer and let them solidify. It usually takes about 4 to 6 hours, but it can be longer, depending on your freezer and the size of your molds. 5. Remove the paletas: Remove them from the mold once they are completely frozen. Tear away disposable molds like paper cups. For molds like ice cube trays or silicone muffin pans, run the bottom of the mold under warm water for a few seconds to loosen the paletaNutrition
